SFF-8639) Single Port Interposers for PCI Express® 3.0 U.2 (SFF-8639) Single Port Interposers for PCI Express® 3.0 202 mm Key Features 7.95” 138 mm . Quick and simple set-up 5.4” . Allows capturing and decoding of all PCI Express traffic between 69 mm host and device 2.7” 105 mm . Decodes PCIe host interfaces 4.1” such as NVM Express (NVMe), SCSI Express (SOP/PQI), SATA Express (AHCI/PCIe) in addition to native PCI Express protocols 100 mm . Can be used with both 2.5” and 3” 3.9” drives . Supports data rates of 2.5 GT/s (Gen1), 5 GT/s (Gen2) and 8 GT/s (Gen3) Teledyne LeCroy’s U.2 (previously known as SFF-8639) single-port . Supports x2 SATA Express, x4 interposer cards provide quick and simple means for protocol analysis of NVM Express and x4 SCSI Solid State Drives (SSDs) based on PCI Express (PCIe®) protocols. The U.2 Express Interposer cards, used with a Summit Protocol Analyzer, enable PCIe bus traffic between a host backplane and SSD device to be monitored, captured, . Supports SRIS clocking and recorded for protocol analysis. The U.2 single port interposer supports . Supports CLKREQ# for testing PCIe host interfaces such as NVM Express (NVMe), SCSI Express low power L1 substates (SOP/PQI), SATA Express (AHCI/PCIe) and native PCI Express protocols at data rates from 2.5 GT/s up to 8 GT/s. Now it is possible to monitor and . Dimensions: analyze multiple PCIe storage host interfaces with a single set of tools. - 340 x 141 mm (13.4” x 5.6”) The U.2 interposers provide connectivity and monitoring capability for the recently announced U.2 connector targeted at enterprise storage devices. This U.2 connector provides flexible drive connectivity for NVM Express, SCSI Express, SATA Express, SAS, SATA, and native PCIe 3.0 host interface devices in a serviceable and hot-pluggable drive bay sometimes referred to as “Express Bay”. The U.2 single port interposers can be used with 2-1/2” or 3” sized drives. To use these interposers, the drive is inserted into a drive tray on the interposer that supports a mechanical and electrical connection to a U.2 connector. The interposer taps all PCIe protocol traffic between the host and the storage device and records it on the PCIe protocol analyzer, where protocol issues and performance metrics can be further analyzed and debugged. Teledyne LeCroy was the first company to introduce a PCI Express protocol analyzer with NVM Express decoding functionality. Since that time Teledyne LeCroy has added decoding for SCSI Express (SOP/PQI) and SATA Express (AHCI/PCIe). Integrating all three PCIe SSD technologies into a single protocol analyzer gives developers versatile tools that can show essential details regarding proper data transmission and bus performance. These tools have been at the center of much of the PCIe SSD interoperability testing that has occurred over the last few years.

    1-512-256-0197 www.mindshare.com [email protected] SATA Express Let MindShare Bring “SATA Express” to Life for You MindShare brings the SATA Express course to life through its interactive classroom style and demonstrations. SATA Express bus interface supports both Serial ATA (SATA) and PCI Express (PCIe) storage devices, initially standardized in the SATA 3.2 specification. The SATA Express connector used on the host side is backward compatible with the standard SATA data connector. It also provides multiple PCI Express lanes as a pure PCI Express connection to the storage device. Three options are available for connection of storage devices, 1) Legacy SATA, 2) SATA Express using AHCI, 3) SATA Express using NVMe. This course assumes the student is familiar with both SATA and PCI Express protocol. The course focuses on connector and cable architecture as well as M.2 Device architecture. The course then covers the architecture of both AHCI and NVMe host controllers associated with SATA and PCIe connected storage devices. You Will Learn: • SATA Express connector and cable structure • M.2 devices and sockets/cards • Pertinent AHCI controller and commands • Pertinent NVMe controller and commands • Interrupt handling • Error handling • Power management Course Length: 2 Days Who Should Attend? Hardware designers, software developers, and system validation engineers will all benefit from this course. Both hardware and software requirements of a SATA Express subsystem are detailed and explained through numerous examples. Course Contents:
